Next (v1): making complete compatible API

Open dy opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Just outline possible project strategies, as mentioned here.

1. Do nothing

With the time project becomes a historical artifact (if not already), a memorial of volunteering OSS efforts.

2. Archive the project

We're not qualified for really optimal implementation, there needs to be a serious sponsor and full-time engagement, just check @chrisguttandin work at standardized-audio-context.

3. Finish current code

Make minimally compatible API with current approach. 👍🏼 Any JS platform (see QuickJS, Duktape) 👍🏼 Can be used as polyfill 👎🏼 Unlikely to be maintained

4. Reuse web-audio-engine

👍🏼 That seems to be more complete 👎🏼 That's not maintained either

5. Wait for successor eg. web-audio-api-rs

👍🏼 Hope 👎🏼 Rust can be 150 times slower 👎🏼 Needs to be compiled to WASM

6. Bindings like node-audio, labsound

👎🏼 Binding = no way to run in browser
